THE IRON ROD OF MARS Alison Davidson

"Mars is the god that makes the iron grow. "

Gone is the gleaming golden age, gone are the days of silver and copper ruled by the gentle muse of poetry and art. Nowwe live in the Age of Iron, and the ruler here is Mars, the fiery god of war and the lusty lover of Venus.

From the earliest crude wood-fuelled cast iron forges to the vast steel mills of South Chicago we have industrialized the planet, creating a technological labyrinth of iron and steeL Without iron there would be no factories (no plastic, no computers), no transport, no communications, war or indus-try as we know them. Without iron our civilization would totally disintegrate, so dependent we have become upon this humble metal.

Undoubtedly tremendous technological benefits have been brought to the human race, but the cost of man's use and abuse of iron is becoming rapidly apparent; with iron man has constructed weapons to destroy not only whole races of people and animals but also Nature, the mother of all of us. The energies of Mars have come to dominate our society and our daily lives.

Ever since humans first learned to forge iron it was put to the purpose of war. Early Egyptian mythology describes the god Horus subduing the enemies ofRa with spears and chains of iron, and in later Roman times the spears of Mars were kept in the king's house and the god himself was believed to reside in them and was invoked for battle. By the Middle Ages, swords of Damascus and Toledo had become famous weapons -- but it was the invention of guns, and other more deadly weapons that changed the nature of war forever.

Although a humble metal, iron wields an unsuspected power that man in trying to harness has instead been enslaved by it. Although we can't easily escape these iron chains which have been forged around us, we can at least learn to under-stand something of this metal's deeper nature.

mAT UBIQUITOUS METAL "Iron occupies the center of the stage. It cannot be over-

looked or undervalued." Wilhelm Pelikan Iron is present everywhere, all around us and inside our

bodies, in the earth, in the atmosphere as meteoric dust, and being largely soluble in its salts it is dissolved in springs and streams to be carried out to the ocean. Of all the metals, iron is the most abundant, forming with its oxides and a great variety of other ores, up to 5% of the earth's crust, but pure iron is rarely found. Instead it combines with other elements to forms ores such as magnetite, hematite, chalcybite and siderite which contain over 50% iron, with the greatest deposits forming an iron 'belt' or 'girdle' around the temper-ate northern half of the northern hemisphere. So it is in North America, England, France, Germany and Northern

China where most iron ore is mined, with the largest mines located in the USSR. Some iron is also mined in southern latitudes, such as the north of New Zealand where Japanese miners suck tons ofblackiron sandfrom.thewestern beaches, hot as a tin roof underfoot in summer.

Other combinations with iron include sulphur as pyrite, found at a great depth in the oldest rocks on the planet, testifying to iron's involvement in extremely ancient earth processes. And with oxygen iron forms the ore magnetite which, as its name suggests, is magnetic, and forms whole mountains in the far north, in Norway, Sweden and the Urals. This affinity with oxygen is a vital part of iron's nature and function, for iron freely takes oxygen into itself and just as freely gives it back out. As ferric oxide, iron is trivalent and rich in oxygen; as ferrous oxide it is bivalent and low in oxygen and forms the characteristic red rust.

This red rust reminds us of the Red Planet, Mars the ancient planet which has been linked in strange ways to our own, and where civilizations older than we can imagine are said to have once flourished but now are red dust; where exists " ... the presence of enormous quantities of ferrous iron oxide, hematite, on the Martian surface, giving it its red color. Ferrous iron, rather than black ferric iron, is found only where large quantities of free oxygen are present. .. or were present."1

Iron also has a very close relationship with carbon, readily combining with and transforming this 'earth substance' to form a harder, stronger metal. Curiously, the iron girdle or 'breastplate' through the northern continents is flanked by another ring of coal deposits, the carbon so necessary for man's forging of iron. While pure iron is soft and malleable, it hungrily absorbs carbon to form the hard, but brittle cast iron, as the earliest forgers discovered with their clay furnaces into which they dropped the ore with pieces of charcoaL In England, by the 15th century, this method was improved with a greatly increased air supply leading to the construction of powerful blast furnaces belching the first industrial smoke into the skies of Europe. In 1856, an Englishman discovered by adding just the right proportion of carbon, how to make steel, the intermediary stage between the soft, malleable iron and the brittle cast iron.

1HE 'BR01HERS OF IROW Other metals with a special affinity with iron, and which

RudolfHaushka describes as 'the brothers of iron' are cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese, tungsten, vanadium and plati-num. They are all found with iron ore, form carbides, and share practically the same qualities of resonance and lustre, while displaying a similar low level of conductivityofheatand

electricity. Yet each displays certain qualities unique to itseH and other forms of elemental energy which folklore describes in terms of nature spirits.

For example, the name cobalt is derived from the 'kob-olds' or gnomes who work deep down in the metallic earth veins tormenting miners or helping at their whim. Although sharing iron's reaction to magnetism and forming carbides like iron, cobalt is described as an 'earthier form of iron than iron itself, its salts and ores 'tinged with a dark and melan-choly shade of blue-violet.' Nickel is the 'watery brother' of iron, its name derived from the 'nixies', the undines or water spirits, and this metal does shine with a watery lustre more in keeping with copper with its salts showing the deep green of the sea. Yet its carbides are tough and resilient and are used for example, in the manufacture of gun barrels. Manganese is said to have the fiery quality of iron with red to flaming violet coloured salts. It makes a very hard steel, and tungsten and vanadium when alloyed with iron produce a steel almost as hard as diamond - an essential component in steel working tools.

the saying that "snow is the poor man's fertilizer." Most frequent in the autumn, these meteoric showers are said to radiate from the constellation of Scorpio, the astrological sign which is coincidentally ruled by Mars.

Haushka goes on to say: "Iron is the only substance which makes visible in an archetypal picture the incarnating force during its spiral descent, for the path followed by meteors is indeed a spiral, the result of interacting radial and spherical forces."

George Washington (not the president) in The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation, also refel\ to this process when he describes the 'watery ether above' filled with the smallest particles of iron, without which "there would be no means whereby ether could penetrate either into man's body or the body of the earth."3

THE "BREA1HER OF THE METALS" As a miniature replica of the earth and the cosmos above,

we find iron playing a major role in the microcosm of the human body,

Chromium is well known as a plating to protect other metals, and is also used in tanning and as a valuable mordant in dyeing wool and silk. Platinum, like nickel, is non-corrosive and is described by Haushka as being the 'most dead' of the iron related metals. Its value, apart from its use in expensive jewellery where it is called 'white

power that man in trying to harness has instead been enslaved by it.

1~ where it chemically combines with the iron or Ferrum Phos. to give us our red blood. From the lungs via the heart where all the blood in the body passes every three minutes or so, oxygen is carried throughout the system. ''The amount of oxy-gold', is that of a crucial catalyst in

industry. Being 'dead' itseH it remains unchanged while initiating or speeding up chemical reactions.

'IHB METEORIC IRON SPIRAL As mentioned before, there is a large variety of iron ores

and they all show a great diversity in their crystalline forma-tion, but two distinct patterns stand out above the others; a radial tendency seen in marcasite, and a spherical arrange-ment seen for instance, in the ore hematite. When these two dynamics, the radial and the spherical combine we see an obvious spiral pattern emerging, which shows up in the ore siderite. (see fig 1)

''The spiral tendency always arises when time enters space and develops towards a centre," Haushka writes in his illuminating book The Nature of Substance. ''The fact that this dynamic shows up so clearly in iron ores points to the fundamental role played by the iron process, for it transforms spherical forces quite unrelated to the laws of earth into radial forces working towards a centre. One can say that the function of iron is to help cosmic, weightless elements to enter the sphere of gravity."2

These cosmic elements include vast quantities of pure meteoric iron dust which shower onto the earth continu-ously, an estimated several millions of tons a year. Some of this invisible iron naturally precipitates in snow giving rise to

gen we are able to absorb into our bodies from the air we breathe depends entirely upon the amount of iron present in the blood to combine with it and carry it to every extremity of the body."4

As we breathe, the presence of iron permeates our system with the energy and rhythm of Mars, giving us life and reflecting the wider, measured orbit of this planet which swings with its own eccentric rhythm close to and then widely away from Earth.

Just as the smith works externally on the forging iron, so internally our bodies are a kind of furnace with our lungs as the bellows and the iron kindling the fire of chemical reaction with oxygen, renewing the cells and giving the energy for life. But plants too are equally dependent upon iron where it acts as a catalyst for chlorophyll formation. Although iron di-rectly enters the haemaglobin in the blood, it does not enter into the chlorophyll, rather it is manganese (one of iron's 'brothers') which enters the chlorophyll. Pelikan observes that "chlorophyll and haemoglobin are so completely at-tuned to each other that they maintain the air in perfect equilibrium between oxygen and carbon dioxide (whatever the plant takes from the air is given back by the animal, and vice versa), and that the two breathing substances are so similarly constructed."s

Whereas water creatures that breathe with copper tend

~ . : to be almost amorphous in shape, the red-blooded breathers of iron display a far more highly defined form and will for individualized action.

1HB IRON REMEDY When we are deficient in iron the blood is anemic and

pale, the Mars will and energy is lacking and there is a general sense of being ungrounded and unable to act with decisive-ness. When there is insufficient iron in the blood the circu-lation is increased to take enough oxygen to all parts of the body, and this increased motion causes fric-tion, which in tum results in heat In the body this manifests as fever, or inflamma-tion.

By taking this a step further we can see how the over-predominance of iron (particularly in its hard steel form) in this machine age has led to a rationalistic, mechanical way of looking at the world, inducing a kind of mental rigidity where the creative thought processes are indeed mummified; where the virtues of industrialization are glorified at the expense of Nature. One example is the tanning industry itself whi~ resulted in whole forests of tan-oak being stripped in north-west California, beginning a slow drying of the region and a gradual transformation into desert-like conditions. Here we

may marvel at thewisdQ&n of the Druids who farseeing its consequences forbade the use of iron.

So homeopathically Ferrum Phos. is indicated for these symptoms of heating, for hemorrhages and injuries, congestion, de-pression, lung problems, in fact, all sickness calls for increased oxygen (and therefore iron) to detoxify the system. I have found it to be very effective taken in the first stages of colds and febrile illnesses. Marcasite

These two qualities of iron, the incarnat-ing and 'fixing' qualities are also evident in the Egyptian deity Ptah who, although one ofthemostimportantcreator gods and chief patron of all metal and stone-workers, is curiously depicted bound as a mummy with only his hands free to work at his creations. Mummified, he represents the vital fire of spirit incarcerated in matter; he "material-izes the metaphysical principles" of crea-tion and is found "in every heartbeat and everysowtd." As smelter, caster and sculp-tor, Ptah created the great rectangular iron plate which formed the floor of heaven, upheld by four pillars which marked the cardinal points and the four directions of space. These are the cross of the four ele-ments in the old sign for Mars surmounting the circle of the Sun o a mirror image of the sign for Venus. But while Venus is

When cast iron pans were used for cooking, a deficiency of iron was relatively rarer than it is today with steel and alumi-num (poison!) cookware. But the level of iron in the body can be boosted with green leafy vegetables and herbs, vervain and particularly stinging nettle which has a re-markably high iron content It was once widely used as a spring tonic after cooking neutralized the poison in the young green leaves. Natural sdenmt Lilly Kolisko shared Rudolf Steiner's enthusiasm for this plant in agriculture, writing: "The stinging nettle regulates the iron household in nature," when there is too much iron in the soil nettles can be planted to attract the super-fluous iron away from the other plants.

Overall, iron is a great rejuvenator car-rying vital forces throughout the etheric and physical organism, but when the iron forces predominate they tend to rigidify and become instead anathema to life itself. A fine example of these two expres-sions of the Mars-iron nature is the oak, a tree revered as a symbol for strength and generative power by the celtic Druids and many other native people; but the oak is also harvested for its bark which has long been used in the tanning ofleather, a type of mummifying process.

Haushka writes " ... the Mars impulses at work in iron are the carriers of the forces of embodiment," but, ''these forces lead to mummification if they become too active and over-whelm the system."

Where Ptah incarnates the sacred fire of life, the god Set who rules the metal iron, fixes this living fire into the flesh, binding the soul to the body with the heavy forces of earth. In very ancient times Set, as the son of the primordial goddess, was regarded as a friend of the dead, helping them to climb the ladder reaching to the iron floor of heaven. However, in later times he was vilified and cast out to rule the barren scorching

deserts so reminiscent of iron's planet Mars; condemned to an eternal struggle against his twin the sun-god Horus. Here we see the rhythmic processes of iron reflected in this war between Set and his opponent as they oscillate between life and death, light and darkness, liberator or soulbinder.

Richard Hoagland, who wrote the remarkable book about that enigmatic Face and pyramidal city on Mat'S photo-graphed by NASA on the Viking expedition, contemplates the possibility of a cultural legacy inherited thousands of years ago from the inhabitants of the Red Planet and re-corded in the construction of the Egyptian pyramids. Al-though 'straight' science immediately denied the existence of the apparently human Face, the Martian Mysteries continue. The Soviet Mars probe Phobos 2 has also been reported to have transmitted pictures of a huge city-like structure. Dr. John Beck-lake of the London Science mu-

Mars is subverted into the phallic substitutes of bigger and more deadly guns blasting a trail of carnage across the screen. To be sure Mars thrives on challenge and power, but the greatest challenge is the power and discipline over self, and on its highest level the expression of Mars is a powerful uncompromising creativity. Then Mars, like Ptah, ''represents the emergence of new forms of self-expression through the interplay of Spirit and matter." The symbol of Aries cr with its spiralling rams horns, also described as a fountain, is an apt description of the ''tre-mendous outpouring oflife fora;inherent in the first sign" --a symbol also perfectly expressing the spiralling descent of meteoric iron as it showers to earth, carrying from the cosmos the forces of life.

Appropriately Mars rules the red blood corpuscles, the male

seum commented: ''The city-like pattern is par-

ticularly ~cinating. It's 60km wide and could easily be mistaken for an aerial view of Los Angeles. The

~g lines on the film frame are about 4km wide. And they showup on infra-red which means they're emitting heat. That's very puzzling indeed considering that Mars has an extremely cold carbon dioxide atmosphere."7

sexual organs (as Venus rules the female), the nose, muscles and excretory tract. Its energy is found in occupations dealing with sharp tools and weapons, sol-diering, surgery, butchery, some forms of research, and any job where fearlessness and an iron discipline is necessary.

In the Jewish system of knowledge known as the Qabala, the sphere of Mars on the Tree of Life is also represented by images of war; a mighty warrior Hoagland's observation men-

tioned earlier on the red ferrous oxide on Mars being ''found only where large quantities of free oxygen are present. .. or were present" certainly points to the possibility of life having existed once on Mars. Perhaps not so long ago, as Tom Brown investigated in this Journal back in 1986, giving among other evidence, photos published in the National Geographic magazine in 1955 that show distinct green areas on the red planet. The article states that: "By 1954 the new green area covered some 200,000 square miles." What happened to the green areas? As Tom asks: ''Did the planet change or did the method of reporting to the public change?" (Or both?)

Haushka takes our connection with Mars even further back in time when he writes: "We came to know the Mars process as the force that makes incarnating possible. Thus there must always have been a stronger than usual bond between earth and Mars, even before the earth became a solid body."

OCCULT IRON AND 1HB MYS'IERIES OF BLOOD Astrologically, the planet Mars and the energy of iron

rules the two zodiac signs of Aries and Scorpio, expressing the qualities of dynamic energy, courage and sexual drive. The desire nature is powerful if Mars is rising or strongly aspected in the horoscope. On its lowest level this is the Rambo syndrome, "a feed, a fuck and a fight" mentality so prevalent on today's television, where the powerful sexual energy of

in his chariot; the symbols of a sword, spear, scourge and chain (and curiously, the five-petalled rose, a symbol of the feminine). This fifth sphere is called Geburah, meaning Strength or Severity, and here the highly dynamic and fiery Mars-iron force is focussed to bring the virtues of energy and courage, or the vices of cruelty and destruction. In Geburah is found the sacrificial priest, the pruner, the katabolic force which breaks down old forms and destroys them to release their energy.

This can be identified with the Egyptian sekhem, ''the pitiless force that wills the destruction of one form for the conception of another," personified by the red lion-headed goddess Sekmet, the consort of the iron Ptah and the power behind his creations. Her name is the root of the Hindu shakti, the female creative energy typified by the mother goddess Kali. She is honoured with red wine, blood and ritual sex -- blood the vehicle of the Mars-iron energy both biologically and magically.

Blood gives power to the sacred spears of Mars and Horus; iron is ruled by the African deity Ogun and is used in his rites of blood. There are more wars, more blood spilt on the earth now in our 'civilized' times than ever before as Mars demands his sacrifice for man's use of the sacred iron. The destruction of Nature, the pollution of our world, it can all be linked to man's abuse of this humble metal we have taken for granted for too long.

..... :

The deeper nature of iron has been forgotten, hidden like the alchemical sun in the dark womb of the earth but still contained in the name for iron, the Latinfemun derived from the root of the verb fero, meaning ''to create, to form, to bear "

It has been forgotten that Mars was originally associated withagri-cultw'e rather than war, as a 'd\\eDer in the woodland' who protected the crops and herds from thieves and wild animals. Even earlier, the rites ofblood associated with Mars referred not to the blood ofwar but to the female blood of sexuality. Tuesday, or Mars-day, is sacred to Kali the goddess of Time and Blood; it was on Tuesday according to a Jewish tradition that Eve began men-struating. As occultist Kenneth Grant explains, female blood was ''the earliest type of Mars as the mystical energy of the goddess," before the feminine mysteries of blood were superceded by the so-lar-male cults.9 It was the first blood sacrifice, the first sacrament of life. The violent heat and energy of Mars "denoted feminine power at its height," expressed so vividly by the rapacious lioness Sekmet whose thirst is quenched by the blood of the wicked, or the bloodied Kali dancing on corpses in the crema-tion ground.

Her nature is t\ID-fold, like iron. She is both creator of life and in another form she is called the 'Night of Destruction,' which happens at the end of the world and which is necessary before a new world can come into being. She is the explo-sive, unpredictable power of Nature. She is also the purifying power of iron and was said to come into being to rombat the demons of man's iron-based greed and materialism.

This purifying and healing power is evident in the sign of Scorpio and is also observed in nature, in iron's close relationship with arsenic where it binds this highly poisonous sub-stance into an insoluble and harm-less mineral. This process is also constantly taking place in our own bodies where the iron in the blood works to neutralize the cyanide-like poisons pro-duced by the digestive process.

".Ly virtue of its iron content the blood sets up healing processes to oppose these pathological accompaniments of the unfolding of consciousness."5

Even the sea is purified with iron which precipitates with poi-sonous heavy metals to fall as mud on the ocean floor. With the ener-gies of iron, with the steel will and 'rite' action ofKali, we can find the way to detoxify the environment and ourseJves, and create a new world.

These times we're living in rould be called the culmination of the Iron Age, the phase described by alchemists as "an active descent of the Spirit into the lowest levels of human consciousness ... so at this stage of the work the Spirit ap-pears submerged in the body and as if extinguished in it This is the 'outermost' coagulation, and the threshold of the final completion -- the transformation of the body ~! into the Spirit-become-form."s

HoMEOPATHY: A VIBRATIONAL PERSPECTWE Dr. Donald R. Beans, C.A, Ph.D.

This article will discuss the classical concepts of home-opathy as laid down by Hahnemann. It will also explore the relationship of radioni~ to these ideas.

The medical concept of homeopathy is best expressed by its guiding principle. This is the "Law of Similars" (Simila Similibus Curentur)1 which states that the symptoms created by a medicine in molecular and/or repeated dose given to healthy individuals may be cured by the same medicine pre-pared by the method specified in the homeopathic pharma-copeia2. This method is called potentization or dynamiza-tion. It is accomplished in the following manner. The substance is rendered soluble by one of two processes. The first being the making of a tincture. This is a solution made by soaking the substance in ethyl alcohol for a period of time. This effectively extracts the medicinal properties from the raw substance. The tincture process is especially suited to plant material. This liquid is then diluted and succussed in successive steps to produce a remedy for oral administration. Succussion is a process of striking the successive dilution steps against a hard but resilient surface to effect an energetic transfer from the original substance to the diluting material.

The second method is trituration. In this approach the substance is ground and mixed in precise proportions with milk sugar. This mixture is then ground in a mortar and pestle for 100 rotations of the pestle. A measure of this mixture is then combined with either 10 or 100 measures of milk sugar, depending on which system of dilution is selected. After the third or in some cases the sixth step the mixture is soluble enough to be mixed with alcohol At this point the liquid method is substituted because it is much easier to execute than the trituration method.

The systems of dilution are the decimal system, which is one measure of substance to 10 measures of inert material and the centesimal system which uses 1 measure of substance to 100 measures of inert material. The vibrational essence of the particular medicine being potentized is imprinted on a carrier substance by succussion.

It is as if the molecular imprint of the substance is left on the inert material.

This effect may be similar to that shown in Hans Jenny's Cymatics3 research. This is a method of displaying the vibratory patterns of substances. Specific sonic vibrations are passed through the substance under study, the resulting alteration in the vibration caused by the interference pattern of the substance is conducted to a diaphram. The diaphram has on its surface a light and easily movable powder.

As the diaphram vibrates it organizes the powder into a distinct pattern. The geometric pattern produced by each substance is unique and predictable according to Jenny.

The homeopathic potentization process releases at each dilution step a progressively more subtle energy field into the

carrier substance. According the Avogadros number (6.023 X 1Q23), a principle of chemistry, after the twenty third dilution step there can be no physical substance left in the solution. The remedy however, seems to act more powerfully and at a more subtle level in the body as more dilution and succussion steps are carried out. This is in agreement with the Arndt-Schulz law which states ''weakts-timuli increase physi-ologic activity and strong stimuli inhibit or abolish activity."4

The vibrational pattern of each remedy is directly re-flected by the effect that remedy has on the body. As the sub-stance is ingested in large amounts (molecular dose) it is broken down by the body's processes and distributed to the various tissues by blood or lymph circulation. The substance will either combine beneficially or interfere with the func-tioning of the cells by its action at the atomic or chemical level This creates a certain set of effects as the awareness of the toxicity of the dose is brought to the conscious level These manifestations of the effect of the molecular dose are recorded.

An individual who is sensitive to the remedy need not receive a molecular dose to exhibit the same symptoms.

The characteristic symptoms of a homeopathic remedy derived in this manner are known as a proving. Additional information is gained about the effect of the remedies from accidental poisonings and clinical experience. These signs and symptoms are physical as well as mental and emotional. In the realm of homeopathic medicine all these areas are of importance.

The recorded provings of homeopathic medicines have been set down in texts called Homeopathic Materia Medicas561.These books represent the vibrational profile of each medicine, in detail, as it is presented by the body. This information is then used according to the "Law of Similars" in the following manner. The patient is interviewed and if necessary a physical exam is performed. By approaching the patient from all aspects of physical function, anatomical change and mental/emotional behavior, the physician is gath-ering a complete vibrational profile of the individual. The patient profile is then matched to the vibrational profile of the one medicine which exhibits the greatest number of the same symptoms as are exhibited by the patient. This is done by a process ailled repertorization. A text called a repertoryS-9 is used to categorize each sign or symptom discovered in the patient exam. Lists of remedies are presented with each symptom in the text.

When one has cross referenced all the patient's symp-toms and all the remedies presented with those symptoms in the repertory, certain remedies which pertain to the patient under investigation begin to reveal themselves. The next step is to reach the most likely remedies in the materia medica to discern which is the one remedy (the sim.illimum) that corre-

sponds most closely to the totality of the patients overall vibrational profile.

The next decision the homeopath must make is which potency to administer to the patient. Different schools or methods of homeopathy have different conceptual frame-works upon which this critical decision is based. This has been a dividing force among homeopaths for years. Gener-ally it is felt that the low potencies (those containing some molecular substance), are more active on physical or organic lesions. The high potencies (above Avogadros number) are more appropriate for treating functional conditions. The foregoing explanation is simplified, to say the least, and not agreed upon by all homeopaths. Although agreement has not been reached on what the depth of action of the various potencies might be, there is general consensus that the poten-cies remedial benefit is a function of its effect on the bodies vital energy.

The concept of 'vital energy' was used by Hahnemann10, the originator of homeopathy, to mean the non-physical, non-chemical force which motivates and supports life.

The idea that a homeopathic remedy manipulates an underlying, pervasive, life motivating force in the body was conceived partly from the observation of patients treated with these remedies.

Not only are physical ailments of the body resolved, but mental and emotional conditions undergo remarkable changes. These changes in the psychological aspect of the person sometimes change 'instantly' upon the administration of the correct remedy. This would lead one to conjecture that it was not the physiology of the patient changing which changed the attitude, but some energetic force which could make a change in the whole person immediately. The physical aspects change more slowly because, even though the energetics which are creating a certain situation of illness are changed rapidly by the administration of the sim.illimum, the tissues themselves need time and nutritional support to regenerate themselves to a condition of health.

The whole concept of homeopathy may also be expressed in the physics principle of sympathetic resonance. This phenomena may be simply demonstrated by an experiment with two tuning forks, both of the same pitch or frequency. Two wooden boxes, open on one end are set on a table with the openings facing each other, a short distance apart. One tuning fork is set with its base against the top of one box. The other turning fork is struck to set it into motion, and then set against the top of the other box. The vibratory rate of the struck fork is transmitted to the wooden box which, because of its shape and material, acts as a resonator. This box transmits the sound waves through the air to the other box by virtue of the hole in one side facing the hole in the other box. This acts like a megaphone. As the sound waves are received by the second box, it begins to vibrate at the same frequency as the sound waves in the air. This vibration in the wood sets the turning fork vibrating, creating the identical sound from the turning fork that was not stuck.

The homeopathic remedy of the same vibratory force as

the totality of the symptoms of the patient is administered, and through this principle of sympathetic resonance initiates a profound energetic change in the function of the individual. The vibration of the remedy focuses the body's vital force on the totality of the condition and the natural defense mecha-nisms are set in motion in a precisely organized manner. The exact nature of this process has yet to be explained in scien-tific terms. However, the clinical observation of this occur-rence is the basis of homeopathic practice worldwide.

RADIONICALLY PREPARED HOMFDPATBIC REMEDIES The process of radionically preparing homeopathic

remedies is more properly called simulation. The remedy is created by a radionic instrument is only an approximation of the original substance.

It contains only the vibrational pattern created by an instrument not the molecular structure imprinted on a car-riermedium by the substance. To prepare a remedy one must begin with a witness of the remedy. This can be a physical sample of the substance, but is usually a numeric rate, a geo-metric pattern, the written name of the remedy or a photo-graph of the substance, unaltered or broken down to a spectral image (Spectra-Vibratory Imaging).11

The circuit or the radionic instrument is then tuned to the sample or witness representing the substance to be simulated and the potency desired. The function of the instrument is to amplify and concentrate the vibration in a specified area, usually a well or other receptacle, in which a receiving me-dium can be placed. The mediums best suited to receive these vibrations and retain them for later oral administration are milk sugar, water and alcohoL After a brief period of time the carrying medium may be removed from the instrument and administered according to the laws of classical homeopathy as discussed above.

In general, however, most radionic practitioners ignore these laws and rely on the radionic instrument to aid them in the selection of the appropriate remedy for a particular client. This is done by using a witness to represent the client.

Using this sample, the radionic circuit is tuned to the vibratory pattern of the client. This vibration is then com-pared to the vibratory patterns of the various homeopathic remedies. When the two vibrations match, detected by the radionic operator's nervous system and indicated by the radi-onic instrument, this is said to be the appropriate remedy for that person at that time. This remedy may or may not be the sim.illimum as defined by the tenets of homeopathy. If the above method is used to aid the practitioner in selecting a remedy it can be very helpful, however, it is not the practice of homeopathy. This is the administration of vibrational remedies following a completely different set of rules. The difficulty in prescribing remedies by the radionic method arises when one tries to predict the outcome or respond appropriately to the client's reactions to the remedy given.

Classical homeopathy has very definite parameters for the interpretation of reactions and the anticipated outcome from the administration of the simillimum. A clear under-

THE ROLE OF THE MOUTH IN HEALTH AND DISEASE Vivian Morris, B.S., D.C.

Everybody -listen to an important message about your health. I wish to share information about something I did not know, and you may not know it either.

If I ask someone, "Is your mouth important?" That person probably will reply, "Of course it is important. I eat and drink through it, I speak through it, etc." (In that connection we should be aware that what we eat and drink makes or breaks our health, and that our words either make or break us): But it's what I learned about my mouth in relation to the entire body that I want to share.

When I think of the thousands of individuals seeking help for their aches, pains, and declining health I want to shout. "Friends, don't do as I did in times past: spending thousands of dollars going to numerous doctors, and not getting at the causes of ill health. Instead find a wholistic dentist who is not partiallywholistic, but truly so. That doctor knows that a thousandth of an inch of imbalance among the mouth structures can make you ill.

During my dental reconstruction I experienced a dozen distress-

HOMBOPA1HY CONTINUED ... standing of the body's response to vibrational or homeo-pathic medicines is necessary to successfully cure patients by these methods.

There is still controversy about whether the vibrational remedies prepared radionically or those prepared by a ho-meopathic pharmacy have similar action in the body.

It should be obvious that remedies prepar~.d according to the U.S.Pharmacopeia in potencies below the 24th may have a chemical reaction in the body as well as a vibrational action. The radionically prepared remedy can not have a chemical action because of the lack of physical substance. Only the vibrational essence of the remedy is transferred to the tablets or liquid by the radionic instrument. The true significance of this difference has yet to be defined in clinical practice.

The use of homeopathic remedies whether prepared in a pharmacy or by radionic instrumentation is the choice of the individual practitioner. Whichever method is selected, the practitioner must still rely on the classial concepts of Hahne-mann, Kent or other homeopaths to interpret the action of the potenc:.y administered to the patient. In order to under-stand the changes brought about by the administration of a vibrational remedy, a firm grasp of the principles of homeo-pathic action of remedies and acute observation and inter-view skills are necessary.

ing physical symptoms that would send the average person in many directions seeking assistance. All of those symptoms were the result of imbalance in the mouth. This was a revelation to me.

My wholistic dentist, Dr. Roy Smudde in Los Angeles, stresses the importance of clearing the blocked channels of electro-magnetic energy throughout one's system. He and his staff members apply techniques that enable one to tolerate the discomforts that cannot be eliminated until the reconstruction is com~te and the mouth is in balance.

Between the temporal bone of the skull and the lower jaw bone (called the mandible) there is a little joint that is so important we should acquaint ourselves with at least some of its functions. Its compound name of Temporo-mandibular-joint usually is conven-iently shortened to its initials TMJ. Says Doctor Smudde: ''lbe TMJ is the body controller. The functioning of this joint can affect any and all muscles, organs and systems, and health can be restored most effectively by bringing this joint into balance. The load on the TMJ must be reduced before any permanent benefits can be accom-plished."

Although this article is brief, I believe the reader can see why I feel the urgency to broadcast the message: ''When your body is hurting and telling you that something is wrong, don't waste time, energy and money or docto~ who only suppress the symptoms with poison drugs, and leave the cause untreated. Have your mouth examined by someone who knows how, and start your way back to health there".

3. A human floating in space should start turning with no other forces present, if left quietly alone. And small objects floating near a human should go into orbit around the hu-man.

Hspinforce is areal force, then the gravitational constant may either not be constant, or may require a slight modifica-tion. This would have significant consequences for theories of the universe, perhaps accounting for missing mass and other current problems in astrophysics.

Although spin forces may help to account for some of the complex structures we observe in the universe, they fall far short of accounting for all the variability and complexity shown by living organisms. An organizing force over and above the forces of physics presumably must exist in order to account for the formation of living entities. Such a force, in order to qualify as a force in the traditional sense, must somehow move particles around, putting them in their 'places' to form complex structures. We simply recognize its exis-tence in its own right, name it, and get on with our theories and projects.

Whatever its nature, human thought must be involved with that organizing force, for the power of thought to form structure, organizations, and artistic creations is clearly evi-dent. By assuming the existence of an organizing force, we immediately jump physics up a leveL But enough of such theoretical speculation - what about the experimental evi-dence?

First of all it should be noted that every thought moves millions of atoms and molecules, ions, and cations around within the body. We all exhibit the power of psychokinesis within the boundary of the skin. H a thought is novel or creative, then by definition it is not a mere function of stimulus-response or deterministic forces, it is a new struc-turing of atoms, molecules, neural patterns, etc. Besides all the things that bodies do to keep living, they are our 'thought amplifiers'. That is, if we wish them to be. And some laboratory tests have shown that human thought, intention, and/or emotion can move objects outside the body without physical intervention. This is over and above the spin force shown to exist on frames suspended around the body.

Curious to see if thought force or psychokinesis would show a synergistic effect due to the intention oflarge numbers of people, the author initiated a larger scale experiment in 1979 to see if people could move a space station into a higher orbit. The space station, called Skylab, was due to crash into Earth. About one million people participated, linked and guided by radio, and there did seem to be some slight result The space station remained in orbit longer than expected due to an unusual reduction in solar activity, which reduced the agitation of Earth's atmosphere and thereby lowered the air drag on the space station. Participants in the experiment were asked to ask the Sun to take care of the space station.

This experiment was unknowingly a pilot study for a more recent experiment, covering a 3-1/2 year period in which people meditating for world peace were asked to time syn-chronize meditations on 6 dates per year. This hypothesis tested whether or not humans, acting together, could alter the planetary magnetic field and the activity of the Sun. Preliminary analysis of the data suggests that they can!3

This incredible finding must enlarge our view of human nature and of the power of thought to alter the physical universe. We are required to take thought into consideration as another force, if we accept th~ ~rimental evidence, ranging from facts of how the brain-body system operates to controlled laboratory studies on psychokinesis, to the find-ings (still preliminary) that humans can apparently interact with the Sun. Again spin forces enter as a possible link between the older physics and life, for the spin force around the human apparently can be modified by the power of thought, or more aptly, the power of emotion.

To consider thought as a force does lead to a new model of one aspect of consciousness. In thought, we can imagine different possibilities for future actions. We can mentally construct and discard many different alternative plans, ulti-mately choosing one which we will amplify with our bodies; i.e., speaking, writing, and acting to make it manifest The different possibilities which we imagine can be said to form a probability space in the strict mathematical sense of the term. Some possible actions are "far out" on the probability curve, others are mainline, highly probable actions. With our free wills we can push for one or the other possibility, even stretching to make an improbable event happen. Of course free will isn't free. It takes effort, intention, or energy. (And it's probably taxed as well!) We do this all the time in our daily lives when we consider and plan alternatives. In this sense, human consciousness operates in a fifth dimension, space and time comprising four, and the fifth one made up of probable universes. This is a clear and well defined (some-times) dimension-- that of probability. Most people, most of the time, follow the principle of least action, doing the most probable thing, and thus exhibit little free will. But we can do so when we want to.

In summary, based upon experimental evidence, two additional forces are postulated to exist

1. A spin force or torque (more generally, perhaps a spiral force) present around all bodies and living organisms in particular.

2. A thought force or more generally, an organizing force present around all living organisms, especially humans.

There are probably other forces of a higher organizing type which we are so immersed within that we can't perceive them, for if things just depended on our thought to organize them, they would be a mess! Anyway, we want to leave some of the mystery of the universe or life would be rather boring.

BIOCIRCUITS: NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN WHOLISTIC HEALTH Terry Patten, Tools For Exploration

4286-C Redwood Highway San Rafael CA 94903

They're more powerful than some brain machines costing over a thousand dollars, and yet biocircuits can be made at home in a few hours with parts costing only about $20. They were invented over sixty years ago and hundreds of people have testified to their amazing and subtle effi-cacy, and yet until recently, biocircuits have remained un-publicized, cloaked in obscurity.

The paradoxes surrounding biocircuitry confronted my wife Leslie and I from the very beginning of our research for the book Biocircuits:Amazing New Tools for Energy Health. When Leslie began researching it, she was an enthusiastically satisfied user of the original ''Beman screens," a potent but deceptively simple apparatus con-sisting of two copper screens, each linked by wires to two copper handles. The user grasps the handles while lying on top of the screens, one screen beneath the base of the spine and the other beneath the top of the spine at the base of the skull (see first illustration, page 14).

She had used the screens regularly for about six years, originally to relieve stress at the end of the work day.

After fifteen to thirty minutes in Beman's "relaxation circuit" Leslie felt she had a fresh reserve of energy for her evening's activities. Eventually, while lying on the biocir-cuit Leslie began to have blissful experiences in which she would feel lifted out of her ordinary identification with the body, continuous with a field of pleasurable energy radiat-ing around her in all directions. Together with a few striking occasions in which we saw the circuit's ability to strengthen her overall health, these experiences were per-suasive: biocircuits were an extraordinary tool that more people should know about. Together we agreed that something should be published, and we ended up writing a 240 page book describing a whole new field of research, of which the Beman screen was only one aspect.

One of our first questions during research had to do with the inventor of the screens, a little-known English-man named Leon Ernest Beman. What other inventions and what other research had he been involved with, and how had he happened upon biocircuitry? When we ob-tained a copy of Beman's opus, Cooperative HeaJin& we discovered that there were no inventions, and no other research; he had devoted his entire career, over a forty year period, to his ''relaxation circuit."

Beman built the first biocircuit as a way to heal himself from debilitating injuries suffered during the first World War, in which he served as a pilot, surviving one crash. Given up by medical doctors as "100% disabled," Beman resorted to the Bible for guidance. He noticed Jesus' admonition that the sick should be healed by the "laying on

of hands." Why the plural? Why "hands" and not "one's hand"? Perhaps our bodies were bi-polar systems, and perhaps the presence ofboth hands created a necessary cir-cuit. Beman wanted to heal himsd.fdirectly, so he invented a way to "lay hands on" his own central nervous system. 1\vo copper handles to connect the wires were to carry the healing influence of his hands directly to two copper screens which Beman placed beneath the top and bottom of his spine. When he lay in this apparatus Beman felt a soothing and pronounced relaxation take place. He used this device daily in an attempt to heal himself. Within a year, he was fully recovered. He spent the rest of his life ex-ploring his extraordinary discovery.

Beman saw his "general relaxation circuit" as a major discovery for medical science, a therapeutic tool with almost limitless applications. He opened a private healing practice in which he used the relaxation circuit to treat a wide range of medi~ conditions, and he reported very consistent success with problems ranging from insomnia to stiffness of muscles and joints to deep-seated psycho-logical problems, which Beman could address by using the circuit to unearth buried memories and emotions associ-ated with forgotten childhood traumas.

In his earliest theoretical investigations, Beman did a series of experiments in which he mapped three axes of polarity within the human body: head to foot, left to right, and front to back. Interestingly enough, his findings corroborate basic principles of traditional Chinese acu-puncture, which view these axes of polarity as basic ''yin-yang'' balances within the human body. He found that when he connected the right hand to the base of the spine, and the left to the top of the spine, a relaxation circuit was formed. The person lying in the circuit would relax deeply, frequently being drawn into a deeply refreshing sleep. But when the handles were exchanged, connecting the top of the spine to the right hand and the bottom of the spine to the left, the person lying in circuit would become irritable, tense and uncomfortable, frequently even going so far as to fling down the handles and refuse to continue with the experiment.

After he opened his healing practice, Beman found some people who were so weak and enervated that he felt he needed to insert a new source of energy into the relaxa-tion circuit Beman rigged up some extra wires and handles and lay down next to his patients, directly connected to their energy flows. He found that the deeply soothing effects of the biocircuit were dramatically increased, at least most of the time. Beman called this practice of connecting two or more people together in a single large

wiring diagram "cooperative healing." By sharing the body's natural healing energy, the two energy fields were "cooperating'' to exert a more powerful healing influence. Cooperative circuitry became the arena for much of Be-man's most intriguing original work over the next forty years.

With cooperative circuits, Beman noticed that the re-laxation circuit carried a great deal of information of both a physical and mental nature. This observation formed the basis for Beman's later development of several different therapeutic techniques, as well as a whole series of experi-ments in enhancing telepathic communication with the relaxation circuit.

Some of Beman's most intriguing research was his ex-periments with drugs in the circuit. He had noticed that people in cooperative circuits seemed to notice, or even take on, specific physical sensations or experiences from the other people lying in circuit with them. For example, if someone lay down in a circuit while drunk, the others lying in the same circuit would feel slightly drunk them-selves. One day while Beman lay in a cooperative circuit with a woman suffering a 104 fever her temperature dropped to 102. There it remained. This was as far as he could influence it. He cut the wire of the relaxation circuit and submerged the two cut ends into a glass into which he dissolved two aspirin tablets. Within two minutes, her temperature had dropped to 1000.

J.B. Rhine of Duke University suggested to Beman that he collaborate with Dr. Cecil Maby, whom Rhine held in high esteem. Dr. Maby was especially interested in the effects of drugs in the circuit. A series of double blind tests, conducted by Beman and Maby with the assistance of a pharmacologist, provided strong confirmation of what Beman had observed. The experiments were conducted in such a manner that the identity of the drugs placed in the circuit was unknown not only to the experimental subjects but also the men conducting the tests. They carefully recorded each drug's influences, including all physiologi-cal and psychological, subjective and objective responses. Later, the pharmacologist correlated this data with the identities of the drugs that had been used (the identities had been kept secret from the other men). The subjects had accurately experienced the appropriate influence of each drug placed in the circuit.

Intrigued, Leslie and I tried a few experiments our-selves. We took a standard copper Beman relaxation circuit and cut one of the wires. We stripped back the in-sulation and submerged each end into a solution of the most universally benign but powerful agent we could think of, Vitamin C. The sudden surge of clear, refreshed energy we felt was so strong and immediate that we each had to repeat the experience several times before we were sure that it hadn't been anomalous! Later we tried several other natural healing agents. Our subjective experience was un-ambiguous: the circuit certainly did communicate vibra-

tional influences. We began to look for other researchers who would corroborate-- or better, extend-- Beman's findings.

During Beman's lifetime, his drug experiments at-tracted the interest of Dr. Eric Powell, a leading homeo-path in England during the forties and fifties. Powell re-peated Beman's drug experiments using homeopathic remedies, and concluded that the relaxation circuit com-municated the vibrational influence more directly and cleanly, without as much riskofcon~tionas orally in-gested homeopathic remedies. Powell began to use Be-man's circuit regularly in his private practice, both as a tool for relaxation and as a means for administering remedies to his patients. He developed a machine for inserting remedies into the circuit which he later marketed to other natural healers as the "Autonormaliser." Although Pow-ell is best-known for his book, The Home Physitian, he wrote another less well-known book about his work with Beman's circuit, Healing By Auto-Induction. In that book, Powell recommends using the Autonormaliser with the patient's own urine. He reports that he obtained consis-tently good results in this manner.

By this time we were developing some investigatorial zeal and a sense of humor, SQ we tried out Powell's sugges-tion. We lay in the relaxation circuit next to a glass of our own urine, with the broken wires submerged in the glass. To me, these results were even more impressive than the Vitamin C. After ten minutes in the circuit, I felt so energized I didn't want to keep lying down. It was almost like drinking a couple of cups of coffee, except that I felt so strong and grounded, it was as though I were actually made healthier even as my energy was stimulated (a sensation that I certainly do not feel after drinking coffee). On several subsequent occasions, I lay in circuit with my urine upon awakening in the morning with a sore throat. Each time, the sore throat disappeared in the short time I spent lying in the urine circuit.

Our understanding of this technology advanced much further when we encountered Peter lindemann, an Ameri-can researcher born in 1951. Lindemann's biocircuit re-search, like Beman's, developed out of his search for a cure for an ''incurable" health problem of his own. In the process of his eventually successful search to heal himself via biocircuits, Lindemann became a sophisticated theo-rist about the principles underlying biocircuitry. He also developed the first major advances in biocircuitry since Beman's lifetime.

Lindemann inserted a wide range of outside influences into the circuit. He worked with color influences, orgone accumulators, and a wide range of vibrational healing modalities, including radionics. In the process, he and his associate, Marty Martin, identified and described ''vibra-tion grafting." & Lindemann describes it, a vibrational in-fluence is "grafted" directly into the energy harmonics of the body. When the graft ''takes" there is an instant shift

The Jouma/ of Borderland Research May-Junfhluly-August 1990, Page 13

in the body's vibrational dynam.i~, and the pattern of health is reestablished. At least theoretically, any vibra-tional modality can provoke this shift in the body's energy: homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, flower essences, gem elixirs, radioni~, or other approaches. The vibrational graft is a simple but profound matter. Although grafting the vibration is fairly easy, it takes sophistication to deter-mine what influence to place in circuit.

Nonetheless, a small number of universally benign substances will produce very positive benefits in circuit without prior analysis of the individual's energy patterns taking place. Included here are certain vitamins (particu-larly Vitamin C), one's own urine, food supplements or herbs which have a positive influence on an individual when ingested (these can range from wheat grass juice to ginseng), and color influences. Some people would also include aspirin. Remember, when you place these sub-stances into a biocircuit, your bodily energies are directly affected by their vibrational patterns. It is important not to place any substance in the circuit that would be unhealthy to ingest orally.

Even without substances placed into the circuit, bi-ocircuits are powerful tools. They provide a direct experi-enceofsubtleenergy,powerfulnaturalstressreduction,an opportunity for inner exploration, and a kind of subtle pleasure and enjoyment that is rarely discussed publicly in Western cultures. When substances are inserted into the biocircuit, they enable us to infuse their vibrational quali-ties directly into our bodies' energy fields. Used alone or with substances, biocircuits produce tangible results.

Unlike so many therapies which render the individual dependent upon a professional healer or teacher, biocir-cuits are self-empowering. With them, you experience the energy dimension directly, you influence it directly, and you learn your own lessons from your body's own natural energies directly.

1HB BIOCIRCUIT' AND ITS USE Biocircuits can be constructed from copper or silk.

Their design is very simple. Most copper biocircuits are constructed with two segments, each connecting handles with screens. The handles are held in each hand, and the screens are placed under the top and bottom of the spine. This forms the Beman General Relaxation Circuit:

Eeman General Relaxation Circuit

The two other recommended biocircuit configura-tions are the Beman Optimal Relaxation Circuits and the Lindemann Centrally Symmetrical Circuit:

Eeman Optimal Relaxation Circuit

Lindemann Centrally Symmetrical Circuit

How to use a biocircuit: Ue down on top of the appa-ratus in one of the illustrated configurations for20-30min-utes (less, if using a substance), and relax as deeply and completely as you can. The most universal effect of the biocircuit is its ability to deeply relax you and relieve stress. It is not unusual to fall into a deep sleep. When are biocircuits ~?

Before Bed. Many people like to use them in bed when they want to get to sleep.

After Work. 15-30 minutes in the biocircuit after work usually rejuvenates and energizes users for their eve-ning's activities.

Cat Napping. Biocircuits can provide deep refresh-ment in record time. We have heard many reports of business people who use copper biocircuits for catnap-ping, helping them to refresh themselves in the mid-afternoon. Whether they fall asleep or not, they emerge deeply refreshed.

After Flying. After an airplane flight, many people lie in circuit more than once that same day, or once on the same day and once the following day. Many people report that this quickly restores and harmonizes their natural energy.

Subtle Body Sensitivity. The biocircuit will help fa-miliarize and sensitize users to their etheric or subtle energies. It can become a tool for extensive inner explora-tion. This is especially useful for people who meditate or do subtle bodywork, including massage and healing work, but it is enjoyable and helpful for everyone.

As an Aid to Other Practices. Biocircuits can be used in conjunction with other practices, as a ''turbocharger'' to speed progress and increase the effectiveness of those practices. They can assist various meditative practices, visualizations, affirmation, certain types of deep psycho-logical self-discovery work, some brain machines, various subliminal and meditative audio tapes, and out-of-the-body experiences.

OZONE Is GooD AND NATURAL

Ed McCabe Ozone is one of the most beneficial substances on

this planet, and the BAD science you hear quoted on the news every night is causing you to subconsciously be afraid of Nature, and therefore, a part of Life itself.

What is ozone? Simply, oxygen, three atoms of nature's oxygen. It exists in a very active form for about 30 minutes before breaking down into two atoms of regular oxygen by giving up one atom of singlet oxygen.

Where does ozone come from? Nature. And nature does not make any mistakes. The new growth in the rainforests, and the plankton in the ocean are continu-ally creating oxygen. As you read this, oxygen is rising up into the atmosphere to where the ozone layer is. At the altitude of the ozone layer, the rising oxygen is bom-barded by the sun's photochemical energy in the form of ultraviolet light rays. This UV energy bombardment changes the oxygen from 0 2 -- two atoms of stable oxygen, into 0 3 -- three atoms of unstable active oxygen. We call this ozone. This is all part of the natural process of life on this living biosphere called earth. The chemi-cal formula for this is 302 > UV> 203

Being heavier than the oxygen in the atmosphere, this newly created ozone falls back to earth and is imme-diately replaced by more rising oxygen which is also soon changed into ozone by the sun. A constant natural cycle of up and down oxygen mixing.

The ozone falls to earth and is all around us. It is the fresh small of laundry dried outdoors in the country. It is also the fresh air at the clean seashore, and the sweet smell in the air after a lightning storm. Lightning, also possessing photochemical energy creates ozone as well. Ozone has always been with us, and the fact that ozone gives off that single oxygen atom is a significant factor. Thousands of physicians in Europe have been using ozone as a medical treatment for over 50 years, and the use of ozone in medicine is starting to finally catch on here in the U.S.

How is it used in medicine? This 0 3 ozone is not as stable as regular 0 2 oxygen because it has that extra atom of 0 1 attached to it. Ozone will readily give up the

extra atom and revert back to stable oxygen again. This ability to quickly give off the a1_2m of 0 1 is the reason ozone has been used in medicine.

It has been demonstrated that 0 1, a beneficial free radical, will kill bacteria, viruses, fungus and molds by attaching to them and oxidizing and eliminating them. These lower life form organisms are mostly anaerobic. "Anaerobic" means they can't live around activated oxygen. Doctors using the proper concentrations and correct medical protocols have achieved substantial positive clinical results with ozone. Ozone, when used properly, has been shown repeatedly to kill pathogens--yet not hurt normal cells. The pathogens do not have any protective enzym~ coatings to protect them- as do all the cells in higher life forms like us.

Breathing ozonated air or drinking ozonated water (at the safe legal concentrations that are already laid out by the government) are two of the ways of getting acti-vated oxygen into your body. Did you ever drink water just downstream from a waterfall and feel invigorated? That was because the water had tumbled over the rocks, thinned out and absorbed oxygen/ozone from the air. If it wasn't safe to breathe acceptable concentrations of ozone, the military would not purify the air in our sub-marines with it. Other methods being explored medi-cally are rectal insufflation, autohemotherapy, and IV infusion.

Why do they call ozone "smog?" Bad science and bad reporting. Did you know that your automobile spews out it's own weight in air pollutants every year? When man dumps pollutants into the air, nature tries to repair the damage by sending ozone into the affected area to oxidize and clean them up. Nature works through the balancing of differential electrical, magnetic, and chemical charges. This explains why ozone is always found near air pollution. Ozone is not irritating you in smog, it's the toxins like nitric acids formed that hurt people. But, because ozone is there, then the newscast-ers and scientists try to blame our troubles on our poor friend ozone. By blaming nature, no one has to take re-

The JOUII'I8J of Borderland Research May-June-July-August 1990, Page 15

sponsibility for the car and factory emissions. No one ever has to develop clean energy sources. What they call "ozone" is any number of toxic compounds. Why they don't tell you is that Nature's ozone is a very tiny portion of the smog they report. They also don't admit that ozone is strictly, always, only 0 3 - pure oxygen, and never anything else. I've actually cornered a few scien-tists and reporters and asked if they know that they were not being scientifically accurate. They admitted (in private) that they knew they weren't, but keep up the charade "because everyone else does!"

What about the holes in the ozone layer? Consider the greedy "clear cutting"

free oxygen in your life? Thousands of people are exploring the oxygenating methods I wrote about in my book O:zXJgen Therapies. One of the simplest methods of creating ozone is by using one of the common home ozone air and water purifiers. Home units aren't manu-factured for medical purposes. They generally do not use pure U.S.P. "green bottle" oxygen for their influent gas stream-- as is required in the medical ozone genera-tors. However, they do a fine job for what they were designed for, general air and watePpurification. I use them at home with pleasant results.

Many readers of my book have called and told me their own interesting sto-

of the oxygen producing rainforests and the disap-pearance of our own na-tional forests at the rate of 1 acre every 5 seconds! At this rate, sta~tics prove that there will be no trees in the US in 50 years. Add to this situation the con-stant mindless polluting of the oceans, and the self-ish discharge of industrial pollutants into the air.
